i just got into biking this year, well fall 07.
when we moved into our house in allston there was a specialized hardrock mountain bike in the basment, and since i didnt want a car here in the city i decided to use that to get around. rode that for less than a month, till i got hit by a garbage truck, the driver gave me a specialized sirrus (+ a hundred bucks to keep my mouth shut), a hybrid, and for some reason after getting hit i figured i should probably ride more (dont know why ?) then a few months later i decided i wanted a fixed, so now im riding an old shogun conversion, working for city express, and playin polo when weather permits.
